Calder, Idaho (ZIP 83808), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 24% nationally (24,349th) and the bottom 8.6% of Idaho (245th).
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: modeled hearing disability sits in the top 0.3% nationally, walkability stands in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and modeled fine-particle resides in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 2.6% nationally, mobility disability stands in the top 4.9% nationally, and stroke resides in the top 5.3% nationally. On the better side, park land sits in the top 1.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and loneliness sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 83861, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.74 years of 79.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
